About Chheayudh
Chheayudh Chhon introduces himself simply as Yut and offers a calm, attentive presence for people who need someone to talk to. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which he lists as his professional credential.
He aims to create a warm, accepting space where clients can speak without fear of judgement and begin to make sense of what they are facing. Chheayudh draws on three years of counselling experience alongside a long personal history as a Theravada Buddhist monk.
Background and approach
That earlier work included 17 years as a facilitator and a teacher of meditation and mindfulness. He says those experiences shaped his own growth and help him connect with people from many backgrounds. In sessions he listens, asks questions when needed, and reflects back what he hears.
He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred ways, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to tailor support to each person’s situation. Mindfulness and meditation practices may be offered when appropriate and requested. The focus is on building trust, exploring difficult thoughts, and helping people find clearer meaning, self-compassion, confidence, or calmer ways of living.
Chheayudh communicates in English and Central Khmer and works with people in the United Kingdom and beyond. He invites prospective clients to consider what they hope to change and to raise that when they start the process.

How Chheayudh works online
He also brings elements of Attachment-Based thinking to understanding how early relationships can shape current patterns. That perspective can be useful for people who want to better understand closeness, boundaries, and trust in relationships. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and he will work collaboratively to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when time is limited. It can also mean simpler arrangements for people in different regions or time zones. The therapist will discuss practical session logistics and help you find arrangements that suit your routine and communication preferences.
